This guide covers all Collectibles in Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny for the 2025 Remaster on PS4, Xbox Series S/X, PC. It includes all Files, Maps, Puzzle Boxes, Number Puzzles, Tablet Puzzles, Power Jewels, Magic Jewels, Long-range Weapons, in addition to various missable trophies. To get everything in a single playthrough you need to have Magoichi as your main ally, the guide is based on this assumption. So for the sake of simplicity have Magoichi as your main ally when going for all collectibles. Further details below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a ranged weapon and 1 Power and 1 Magic Jewel that are only accessible during a playthrough where you have Magoichi as your main ally, so prioritize giving him his best gifts such as his weapons and armor, especially the couple’s ring, and assisting him in fights he may appear in (killing everything before leaving the room), see Gifts Guide for more details on all available Gifts. You can actually max out your health and magic by having Ekei or Oyu as your main ally via scenarios, but you need to finish the game without upgrades for 
No Help Needed and it’s currently unknown if having Oyu or Ekei to increase your health and magic would void the trophy. After this trophy you would reload a save from before completing the game and then use all of your jewels, so you need all 9 of both types at the end anyway.
IMPORTANT NOTE #2: The special puzzle box containing the black necklace requires 3 fossilised bones to enter the room that it’s in, these are acquired randomly from Ekei, Magochi and Kotaro, they have 1 each. You need gift them items they like, but generally not the very best items. For example Ekei might give you a bone if you give him the Frog, Magoichi the Vodka, Kotaro the Cloth among many others. It’s best to make sure you have all 3 bones before leaving Imasho for the final time. See Gifts Guide for more detail.
